Explanation:When you're "on the "rebound" (literally rimbalzo - like a tennis ball bouncing off a wall) it means that you have been through a relationship that has finished unsatisfactorily and that your perceptions in a new relationship are clouded by the past.
It's very difficult to express in Italian in brief phrase and it definitely is not "chiodo schiaccia chiodo". Trust me.
Even the dictionary expressions you are all quoting are not exact.
I won't bore you with the usual "many years in UK" references but I know "rebound from personal "grief"...
Angela, now happily married and nol onger on the rebound!!!!
